In just 10 days, you can change history. You could wake up the morning after the election to watch the shocked
expression on the faces of all the pundits, the politicians, the out of control judges, and see the headlines: HISTORIC NATIONAL VICTORY FOR MARRIAGE!

Just 10 days until the polls
close, when America will choose. The future of our country—and also the future of marriage—could be decided for generations to come.

Nationally, Americans will choose between Mitt Romney, a pro-marriage candidate for
President who will defend DOMA and appoint judges that respect our Constitutional values; or the openly pro-gay marriage incumbent, Barack Obama, who
has surreptitiously undermined the legal defense of marriage for four years and who, if he gets a second term, will have the power to position a fifth
vote on the Supreme Court to invent a right to gay marriage and insert it in our founding document.

In Iowa, Judge David Wiggins—the fourth of seven judges who imposed gay marriage on the people of Iowa—faces the
voters.

In Maine, Washington, Maryland, and Minnesota, four blue state ballot
initiatives that converge in a national referendum on marriage. Everywhere, pro-marriage forces are outspent, outgunned, and out-manned. The media
is licking its chops, working overtime to predict the defeat of marriage.

Following the Anti-Marriage Money

Just this week, billionaire Bill Gates gave
$500,000 for gay marriage to the referendum fight in the state of Washington. Manhattan billionaire and Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, chipped in with his
$250,000 "match" gift. Proponents of gay marriage in Washington (R-74) have spent more than $9.5 million already—five times more than the whole war chest of the little band of faithful
brothers and sisters at Protect Marriage Washington. They are the David in this fight against the Goliath of the gay marriage media-industrial
complex—Big Business, Big Hollywood, and Big Media—who have been on the airwaves for literally months with ads.

The money advantage is only part of the story. Big media and big business are joining forces to push gay
marriage like nothing I've ever seen before.

Major corporations in Washington have
pooled their resources to take out a full-page ad announcing support for gay marriage. The Olympian reports:

Executives from leading Washington businesses—including iconic Northwest brands such as Costco, Nordstrom, Microsoft, REI,
Amazon.com and many others—have signed onto a full page ad in this morning's Sunday Seattle Times [sic], endorsing Referendum 74's same-sex
marriage law.

Nordstrom sent an email to all 58,000 employees
announcing company policy supports gay marriage, and urging them to vote for R-74. (It may backfire: how many ordinary workers want our bosses
instructing us how to vote in a moral matter like the definition of marriage?)

And
the Seattle Times corporation upped the ante, announcing it would donate at least $90,000 in free full-page newspaper ads supporting gay marriage!

Money Talks, but Voters Talk Back!

If you and I were a conventional political movement, we would be feeling pretty overwhelmed right now, depressed
and in a defensive crouch.

They can't figure out why we don't just give up fighting
for marriage!

But you and I know that this is not ordinary politics. There is a
Thumb on the scale of justice. Some things are more powerful than money, and this week, we are beginning to see it make miracles happen.

Yesterday, the good news started pouring in!

Just a few weeks ago, polls showed marriage down by 14 points in the state of Washington.

But yesterday the respected Elway poll released the latest
figures. After just a week or so of pro-marriage TV ads, there's been an incredible swing in public opinion
towards marriage!

Opposition to R-74 has leapt ten points in the last week, since opponents went up on the air
with new ads crafted by Prop 8 genius Frank Schubert (who is NOM's political consultant).

Here's one of the ads motivating this change:

And then there's this one, even more powerful than the first!

So, with R-74 now at 49 to 45 percent among likely voters—a statistical dead heat and huge change from the 14 point
advantage gay marriage held in September (when 53 percent of Washington voters told the pollster they would support R-74)—there is great cause
for hope.

That's right: despite spending $9.5 million, and months uncontested on
the airwaves, the pro-gay marriage side has not managed to move public support for gay marriage.

All Bill Gates' money and all Starbucks' alleged Seattle cache may not be enough to push gay marriage over the finish line,
if—and it's a big if—pro-marriage forces have enough money to get the truth out to the American
people!

The stubborn good sense of the American people on marriage has been
extraordinary: Yes, live and let live, people are practically shouting from the rooftops; but don't redesign marriage!

Look for a lot of shocked
pundits on election night in November....

Trouble for Wiggins
in Iowa

In Iowa, a new poll shows trouble ahead for Judge David Wiggins. I was
out in Iowa on the "NoWiggins" bus—with Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, and other leading conservative voices.

This month, a new ad crafted by Frank Schubert went up and is on the airwaves in Iowa.

And new Public Policy Polling data shows 43 percent of Iowans saying they will vote "no" to
retaining Wiggins, compared to only 37 percent who would support keeping the justice on the Iowa bench.

Kudos to Iowans for Freedom for keeping up the good fight—we stand with you!

Nationally, Support for Marriage Grows While Attacks Intensify

This week, USA Today is reporting more shocking
good news: The "Tastes Like Hate" boycott against Chick-fil-A has backfired, and business is up in the third quarter, shocking PR gurus
across the country:

Consumer use of the chain was up 2.2% in the third quarter compared with the same period in 2011, says the
Sandelman survey of more than 30,000 fast-food consumers conducted in markets where Chick-fil-A is located. Market share was up 0.6%, and total ad
awareness was up a hefty 6.5%.

"Chick-fil-A did everything wrong in the book,
says Chris Goddard, president of CGPR. "Their president shot from the hip, and his PR team was not equipped or prepared (to respond). It was a PR
disaster and a clear case of what not to do in a crisis."

Evidently, the PR gurus don't know there's a Hand in this fight that is not bound by the conventional wisdom.

Chick-fil-A, too, seems unstoppable. "There was a lot of talk that [these boycotts] would hurt Chick-fil-A, but it actually helped the
brand," says Jeff Davis, president of Sandelman. During the third quarter, Chick-fil-A broadened its regular customer base in 28 of 35 media
markets, he says.

When you stand up for what is right—for
God's truth about marriage—amazing miracles can happen!

The stakes are so
high. Just yesterday, the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights ruled that a same-sex couple had a civil right to hold their wedding on the grounds of the Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association, a Bible camp founded in the 19th century to host Christian revivals. Ocean Grove has lost the right to let its
property for weddings, unless they are willing to treat gay union vows as equally sacred to marriage.

Up in Maine, NOM's Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance reported this week on
school counselor Don Mendell, a "Teacher of the Year" award recipient whose job was threatened when he came out against gay marriage:

And as I write, black pastors in Maryland are organizing a protest on the grounds of Gallaudet University,
which suspended Dr. Angela McCaskill for doing nothing more than signing a petition to put the question of marriage to voters. [You remember, I reported last week on
the outrageous attacks against McCaskill.]

The rights of all those of us who
believe in Biblical standards are at risk. But we can fight back!

Out in Minnesota,
a new ad running this week warns of the consequences of same-sex marriage and how it alienates parents from the process of their children's
education:

How You Can Help Today

Look, I'm not going to kid you: these are tough, close fights all over—the conventional odds are overwhelmingly against us.
But I promise you that victory, with God's help, is within our grasp.

Will you help? I know how tough the economy is out there. Your family and
your faith community of course come first.

With your help, and by
the grace of God, we can take on Bill Gates, Mayor Bloomberg, and all the other billionaires—take on Big Hollywood and Big Media. And we can win!

Because of state election laws, if you want to give to any of the four state marriage fights, you need to do so directly. To help, we've set
up www.StandForMarriageAmerica.com so you can go and direct your donation to any or all of these state battles.

Meanwhile, NOM's Million Dollar Match for Marriage continues to do well. Thanks to each of you digging deep and
sacrificing so generously, NOM so far has raised $564,557—or more than $1,693,000 for marriage! We are more than halfway there for our million
dollar double-match challenge!

Less than 10 days to a historic victory. Thank you
for all you've done to make us the national leader in the fight for marriage.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Brian Brown,
President of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today called out New York State Senator Mark Grisanti for outright lying in a debate with
his two opponents in the 61st Senate District. During the Wednesday morning debate Grisanti said, "He did not campaign against marriage equality
in 2010." The lie was made in an attempt to fend off his opponents who were challenging Grisanti on his flip-flop and betrayal of traditional
marriage.

Pro Referendum-74 (gay marriage) activists have been on the airwaves for
months. Our side went up on the air a little over a week ago and a new Elway poll suggests momentum is now moving our way -- the closer gay marriage
comes to becoming a reality, the more people reject it:

This past weekend Treworgy Family Orchards became the “Chick-Fil-A of
Maine” in that they exercised their freedom of speech to show support for traditional marriage, and as a result received backlash from the
homosexual community and those that support their agenda.

WNYT-TV airs a segment on the case of the farm owners
in New York that are being sued by a lesbian couple after the owners respectfully told them they did not want their farm to be the site of their
same-sex ceremony. The report admits that the fate of the farm owners's plea is in the hands of a Judge now.

We've seen this happen time and time again -- gay marriage is introduced as
inevitable, same-sex advocates are shocked to discover strong resistance to their plans, and traditional marriage ultimately wins:

Former Attorney General Edwin Meese of the Heritage Foundation ties events
surrounding Chick-fil-A, the Regnerus study and the FRC shooting together and describes it as a "summer of liberal intolerance":

We're excited to welcome another high-quality video explaining why we have laws defining marriage
as the union of one man and one woman. This one is by the Coalition for Marriage in Britain, which has also gathered over 600,000 signatures in
defense of marriage:
